How do you think a person's body composition is tested?
~ Body Composition is measured by calculating a person’s Body Mass Index (or BMI). Elementary students’ body composition is constantly changing due to rapid growth spurts, so children have a different BMI calculation table than adults. Calculating your BMI is generally something your doctor will do at a wellness check that you might not even be aware of to make sure that your body is healthy.
Answer the following questions:
Name another ball joint in your body.hip
Can you move it through its full range of motion similar to your shoulder joint? no.
In full sentences explain WHY it can or cannot move the same way. Because nobody could turn their hip that much so it could go in its full range of motion.
What is the definition of FLEXIBILITY?
The ability to move a joint through its complete range of motion
Why is flexibility or stretching important? What are the benefits of doing these types of exercises?
Benefits of stretching include:
Makes it easier to move your body
Decreases stress
Increases blood flow to those muscles
Decreases your chance of injury
Please list 3 examples of physical activities that use flexibility: yoga,gymnastics, and dance.
What is a serving size? The amount of food in each serving.
What are the 2 types of fat that increase your risk for heart disease? Trans fats and saturated fats.
What are the 2 types of carbohydrates? Sugar and dietary fiber. Where does most of your sodium come from? Most of your sodium comes from processed foods.
What is considered high/low % Daily Value? 5% is the low percent and the high percent is 20% or more.
Last, in full sentences tell me 2 new pieces of information that you learned from this assignment. I learned that there are two types of carbohydrates sugar and dietary fiber. Also I learned that trans fats and saturated fats increase your risk for heart disease.
Breakfast-milk Lunch-tomato and lentil soup Dinner- bread snacks- two chocolate chip cookies physical activity-tennis played it for 1.5 hours. I did not make it to power planet. I lacked the vegetables, dairy and protein category. You could use this website to see if you are meeting food goals or not and what food groups you need to work on.
2. In FULL SENTENCES, describe 3 to 5 differences between the 2 posters. The difference between the posters is the my plate poster seems a little extreme for kids to follow but my pyramid poster seems to be easy for kids to follow. The my plate poster sort of seems to ment for adults who need to go on a diet though the pyramid poster seems to be ment for what a normal kid should have. The my plate poster seems to explain food groups with a diagram whle the other poster exlains food groups with a pyramid thingy.
3. Which poster, do you feel, is easiest to understand? My pyramid poster.
4. In your opinion, do you think you are meeting the food choice recommendations? I sure think so.
Why is bowling considered a lifetime activity? Because you can pretty much play it when you are any age unless you have like some injury in your leg. Do you think bowling is a sport? No. Because bowling is pretty much a fun game to play with friends. Also I really don't see any real professional bowling competitions so I really don't think bowling is a sport. I think bowling has aerobic fitness if you run really quick when rolling the ball down the lane which could make your heart beating. I think it involves endurance as well since if you are not tired you have more strength to roll the ball down the lane.
Collaboration because it is really fun to work with people in a challenge so it is easy for me to collaborate. I also think planning is easy for me to because I just think about objective of the challenge and then it's easy to plan according to the objective. I think I should work on safety because sometimes when we have like scooters or stuff I start to become crazy. I also think I should work on leadership because sometimes if our group is having a problem I should step in and help.
What did you like/dislike about creating your own dance? I liked that we were in groups not individual. I disliked having to do the dance because I do not like dancing. It was boring for me plus I was so bad.
Would you prefer to work by yourself or in a group? Group because at least if we did something wrong I wouldn't be the one blamed for it.
Did creating your own dance change your perspective on how challenging dance can be? Yes because after we finished doing it I knew dancing is super hard.
What do you think about the amount of pedometer steps you accumulated during the dance unit? Yeah I got a fair number of steps.
Were you surprised that it was more than most activities? No. Because most of the activities had more steps than dancing so it wasn't that suprising.
Any other questions, comments, or suggestions for Mrs. Mulloy about the dance unit? Is there going to be another dance unit in the year?

What is your favorite physical activity to participate in? Why? My favorite physical activity is tennis. Because you run around a lot and I like the challenge.
Muscular Strength is the ability of the muscle to exert force during an activity (how strong you are).

High blood pressure
High blood cholesterol
Diabetes
Smoking
Being overweight
Being physically inactive
Age =9 Resting heart rate=61 Maximum heart rate=211 Minimum training heart rate=151 Maximum training heart rate=
181
Sports that are good aerobic fitness are Tennis, Ping Pong, Basketball, Swimming, Soccer. Some activities that don't have a lot of aerobic fitness are sleeping, talking on the phone, and eating. I will do these activities to stay healthy. I learned that the respiratory system is made of the lungs, diaphragm, and trachea. I thought it was interesting that the heart has chambers and has 4 of them. I wonder if slow activities with motion is aerobic fitness like walking.
I learned that you should keep your hips to the wall even though it doesn't feel right it's the proper technique and and you can feel safer since there's a less chance of slipping and falling. You can easily fall if you're leaning backwards and your buts sagging. I will apply this knowledge and application when we go to our exciting rock climbing field trip to adventure rock for gym. It's going to be a fun challenge and it's going to be fun when we're really high and you look down to see how much climbed.
During the summer I played tennis also; I also participated in many tournaments in which I won first place. Additionally, i went to the western and southern open to watch some of the best tennis players in the world; I even got some autograph
